The Good, the Bad and the Vampires:

• The mockumentary style of the movie in a way becomes part of the entertainment for the audiences due to the reactions of the other creatures or humans when they see the cameras tailing the vampires.

• It will also give audiences a first person's point-of-view, making them more involved in the story, elevating the emotions and thrills especially during the werewolves encounters, though it can be a nuisance for non-fans of handheld shots.

• The movie provides lots of laughs without going overboard with its jokes as it imagines how a vampire's typical day-to-day life would be if vampires were around in the 21st century.

• New Zealand actor-directors Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi no doubt know how to tickle the audiences' funny bones with their characters' antics. All the cast (Jonathan Brugh, Stu Rutherford, Cori Gonzalez-Macuer, Ben Fransham to name a few) also fit into their roles perfectly.


Trivia:

• Taika Waititi is directing "Thor: Ragnarok".
